my weekend and boys are stupid

so - i think you should reply just to say i do want to be your friend but i'll respect your wish for space. if he wants to be a drama queen and make you feel bad about yourself - its better for both of you that you get that break.

my weekend. friday night - i watched sky captain and the world of tomorrow and edgar slept over. saturday, we went to my uncle's house to babysit for my 13 (i think) year old cousin. it was so much fun! first of all, i beat edgar there (we took two cars so he could leave early if he wanted) i told ryan that he was coming too and he got all excited and said he was hoping he'd come with me. so, we all hung out for a while and ordered pizza. then, one of ryan's friends came over and they played outside. edgar challenged me at xbox (i'm not very good at it) the two boys came in and kicked both of our butts. then, we played a game of life (i won that) my a and u and other cuz came home towards the end of the game.

saturday night i went out with courtney, eric (c.'s husband) gen, matt and kate (m's gf). we went to this loud bar i don't really like - but we got there at like 9:30 so it was fun for 2 hours before it got crowded. then, after another hour, we went to old toad because it was TOO crowded. we talked and drank and made fun of each other - it was really nice. i'm excited that i have a job where i like spending time with my coworkers.

sunday - i got up and jess was on her way to the gym, so i quickly got dressed and went with her. on the way there i realized how not up for the gym i was feeling but she was going for an hour long class. so, i ended up on the bike's (which have their own tvs) for 45 minutes going at a speed that made me sweat, but did NOT make me hurt. yeah, pretty lazy trip to the gym - but a trip to the gym none the less! then, i went to the training session for volunteering at lollypop (the animal shelter) which i almost fell asleep during (three and a half hours of sitting in one place just listening) i almost cried a few times because 1. i'm a little pms-y and 2. the shelter isn't a no kill shelter, so they mentioned some of the conditions where the animals are put down - and then i walked around and looked at all the animals and thought about the fact that some of the pets were not going to get adopted. i'm really excited though because i should have my first mentor training shift this weekend (i need to call her tonight and set it up) and all the dogs looked sooo excited to have people around. the volunteer in charge of dog walking was saying how the dogs learn the routine and just seeing people walk towards them with leashes will get them all excited.

after that, i hung out with edgar. we went to the coffee house we always go to and had to leave a little sooner than usual because there were two people on what might have been a first date and the man was talking SO LOUD it was uncomfortable to be in the same room. their first topic of discussion? he brought up how he saw a dunkin donuts next to a starbucks and isn't that weird because they fill similar markets and must really compete with one another - i thought of nush and jules :) we ended up at barnes and noble so he could study and i could entertain myself :) i read a cheesey chic fiction - which the first 50 pages of was pretty good, but i'm sure went down hill when the story started to actually *develop*
